Product Description

From the moment siren-like screeching descends into the guitar-furious melody of the “intro” track, Dungen and Tio Bitar embraces with a warmth that transcends feeling, space, and time. It takes the listener on a journey through a utopia where the sounds of the guitar, drum, bass, organ, violin, and flute are drawn to dance together in melody around Ejstes’ hypnotizing vocal force. Before leaving the listener alone in the world again, Tio Bitar floats away on the wings of “En Gång I År Kom Det En Tår” with the melancholic hum of a flute that grabs the listener just before the piano drifts back into reality.

Amazon.com

Tio Bitar leads off with a wordless guitar scream and a blaze of rhythm section, knocking a hole in the wall of sound just as quickly to let in an otherworldly flute melody that's pure Ian Anderson. As modern rockers go, Dungen makes no bones about reaching back into the past to embrace both Black Sabbath's beefy parallel riffing and Jethro Tull's flights of jazzy digression. This is the second U.S. release for the Swedish band, following 2005's Ta Det Lugnt and as their name implies, Dungen are heavy, metallic, and occasionally impenetrable. Though "psychedelic" is the main reference point that comes to mind, and songs like "C Visar Vägen" and "Familj" display as much structural schizophrenia and loopy, lovely melodicism as a Donovan record hopped up on amphetamines, don't mistake Dungen for an exercise in rose-colored nostalgia--there's more than a twinge of new millennium nervousness in this dense and quite compelling record. --Ben Heege

    My favorite Dungen record. The second song is where it's at. The drummer for this band is one of my favorites of all time, but it's really the way everyone plays together that makes this band so incredibly special. This is one for the ages.

    A window into our own times. This is not retro...it is just pure cannibalism...Like Tropicalia was...I have seen these guys twice live...and they are even better then the records are. When they hit your town to tour this beast, it is a must if you want to see one of the last real rock bands on the planet.

    Ok, tio bitar, 10 pieces...so what. This is another piece of over-rated swedish rock. The swedish rock scene has allways had some excellent local artists but has usually exported crap ones. This is no exception.

    I love this band. This is the second LP I own of Dungens, and it won't be the last. They walk the very fine line of mainstream and underground. At times very melodic and at others very chaotic. Its weird, it takes very little time, but it has to grow on you. And when it does - you are hooked. My most listened to disc this year. And the french lyrics are way cool. Very classy, yet very challenging. Moments with great rock hooks followed by jazzy interludes, and always fun. Highly recommended.

    Facts about Dungen:
    1) Their tour bus is a lot like Willie Nelson's, only the smoke comes from a dragon.
    2) They are the only reason the word 'bodacious' was ever created.
    3) There is no way possible to play the guitar solos on this record with your clothes on. If you tried to, the solos would beat you with your own guitar.
    4) The last two songs are even better if you picture their lead singer on a snowboard, in slow-motion, doing a 720 through the clouds and into heaven.

    I stumbled onto this disc purely by chance, so I come late to the party and my observations might be a little different. For example, where many people seem to hear Black Sabbath I hear Cream. Where listeners in 2007 codified the prog tendencies of Tio Bitar as "Jethro Tull," I'm going to say Mahavishnu Orchestra. All this may be splitting "heirs," but what stands out to me most is that this Swedish psychedelic outfit channels the late 60s (especially Brazil's tropicalia movement) explosion of acidic rock guitars and witchier, spacier instrumentation through a post-rock prism, resulting in 10 colorful splinters. Some, like the opening "Intro" and "Familj" succeed unequivocally for me, the latter really straddling the tropicalia of Os Mutantes with something more modern (like Super Furry Anmals?) quite well. Add a dash of "Volunteers"-era Jefferson Airplane and the retro-fetishism really lifts off.

    Songs number 4 and 7 don't succeed as well for me. They aren't skippers, but their attempt to mediate the mood down a notch from acid-fried freakout comes across as a little more calculated than the rest of the album -- as if, in sequencing, the band was thinking "and here's where we'll give listeners a nice pastoral respite, before we take them to the outer limits again." It's just a touch of starch in an otherwise very free-flowing and untamed album; an album designed to be experienced loudly.

    Which brings me to another point: the bass on this album is beautifully recorded. It is present without being bossy, nice and clear without any of the over-compression too many engineers seem to rely on. There's a lot going on in the bass lines, but the skillful recording and placement of the bass throughout the album makes it a nice thread among the intricacy of the music -- something that can be focused on if you'd like to hear every note of it, but it doesn't force its way in and the album doesn't rely on overly-heavy bottom end for its kicks.

    As an entry point for Dungen, I'd say this is a great one, as it piqued my curiosity to hear more of their material. Apparently, Tio Bitar is "folkier" than some of the earlier albums. I would love to discover what people mean by that.
